Battersea House
Battersea Park SW11

One of London’s hidden gems. An extraordinarily quiet, low built house, situated behind electronically controlled gates and set within a spectacular walled garden, providing the ambience and character of a country house whilst set within central London just moments from the River, Battersea Park and Thomas’s Battersea school.

Discrete electric gates open to reveal a private driveway within a courtyard of terraces and with off street parking for four cars and a garage for two cars.

Stamp Duty on Residential Property Purchases, as of 4 December 2014, is now calculated at increasing rates for each portion of the price being paid, in a similar fashion to income tax.

In order to simplify the more complicated calculation, Russell Simpson provide you with a 'Stamp Duty Calculator'.

TENANT FEES AND ADDITIONAL COSTS

In addition to the rent, there are a few other costs that tenants must budget for before entering into a new
tenancy agreement with Russell Simpson. The following fees are all payable before a tenancy starts:

A deposit against damage and dilapidations which is usually 6 weeks rent (or 8 weeks if you have a pet). Russell Simpson will hold these funds in the capacity of stakeholder and for Assured Shorthold Tenancies these will be registered under the Tenancy Deposit Scheme.

Throughout the tenancy there are other costs that must be covered on top of the rent. These might include:

Utilities (gas, electricity, water and telephone)

Council Tax

Television licence

Installation of cable/satellite

Alarm maintenance

Insurance (for your personal possessions and contents)

Garden maintenance/Cost of Communal Garden Key/Fee

At the end of the tenancy:

Professional Cleaning of the Property (for example this could range from £180 inc VAT to £3,000 inc VAT dependent on size of property and extent of clean required)

Inventory Check-out (this is determined by the size and condition of the property at the end of the tenancy and for example could range from £180 inc VAT to £2,000 inc VAT)
